The WATEPGR 2013 scheme has launched to celebrate teaching excellence amongst postgraduate research students. The Warwick Awards for Teaching Excellence for Postgraduate Research Students recognise and celebrate those who demonstrate outstanding teaching skills.

Nominations can be made by both staff and students.

Make a real difference

Winning, being commended, or nominated will make a real difference to the postgraduate as it boosts their confidence in teaching and greatly enhances their CV and future career prospects.

If you are a undergraduate student, don’t forget that in a few years’ time this could be you!

Undergraduate students who nominate will be entered into a prize draw for a £25 book token.

Eligibility

Any postgraduate researcher who tutors can be nominated for an award. This can be any teaching activity, including facilitating seminars, demonstrating and project supervision.

Qualities

Awards will be given to postgraduate researchers who motivate, inspire and engage students through their teaching or demonstrating, create a supportive learning environment that recognises diverse student needs and makes a positive impact on the student learning experience.
